Subject: [Histonet] H.pylori question

Okay, so I know I have heard rumors about the H.pylori testing being
affected by Medicare.  We currently do the H. pylori IHC stain on all
gastric biopsies.  Has anyone heard that Medicare will change, and we will
no longer be able to do it on all cases?  The last lab I worked in, in
Tennessee, stopped doing it all cases, because of the Medicare changes.
But, here in Arizona, they are still doing it.
What's the scoop?

[Histonet] H.Pylori

[Stacy McLaughlin via Histonet]

Hello in Histoland!
We use Cell Marque's polyclonal H.Pylori on our Ventana Benchmark Ultra with 
Ultraview DAB detection.
We're having issues with a precipitate appearing on our slides.  Has anyone 
else experienced this and has anyone had success in resolving the issue?
Thank you for your answers.

Re: [Histonet] H.Pylori Control/AFP

[Sue]

HP is difficult, we actually use a patien control from a positive case and cut 
approx 20 slides from each block.  You can probably purchase them but they are 
costly.

[Histonet] H.Pylori

[Harrison, Sandra C.]

We do an H.P. routinely on stomach, body, fundus, antrum, pyloric,
prepyloric, and gastric (Not on cardia area of stomach or GE jcn.)

We use a kit from Newcomer Supply of a Steiner-Chapman modified Silver
Stain.

The pathologist's order an IHC for H.P. only about 5% of the time, if
for example, they do not see H.P. from the silver stain, but the patient
has a history of H.P.

A Warthin-Starry procedure works great. The kit and procedure on the DAKO 
Artisan is fast, reliable and provides good results.

procedure. Works perfectly.
